DIY Signature wedding cocktails

A signature wedding cocktail is another fun way to personalize your wedding.  You can complement your wedding colors or even your wedding theme with your cocktail, or share a special drink that you as a couple enjoy.  As a bonus, print the cocktail recipe on a coaster or card for guests to take home and recreate themselves.
Many couples consider providing signature cocktails as a cost-cutting measure--you can choose to serve your signature cocktails, beer, and wine instead of an open bar.  As you look for a signature cocktail, make sure to take note of what ingredients may or may not be in season.  Beautiful summer berries from the local farmer's markets can be a delicious and economical resource.  Try this cocktail created by Hennessy, which uses fresh blueberries in a refreshing and colorful cocktail.

HENNESSY BLACK AND SOMETHING BLUE
1 oz Hennessy Black
5 fresh blueberries
2 lemon wedges
1 oz POM Pomegranate Blueberry Juice
3 oz Moet Imperial Champagne
Sugar for rim
Muddle blueberries and lemons in a shaker. Add Hennessy Black, POM Pomegranate Blueberry Juice and ice. Shake and strain into a Sugar rimmed Champagne flute. Top with Moet Champagne.
Recommended Garnish: 3 fresh on a bamboo skewer or toothpick with a lemon twist.
Have fun!
